Hello! glad to read you are back safely AND that you had a good trip. Funny to see that someone can get excited about Target but I do understand. Before WalMart invaded every small town, I had a friend who would fly to visit me and coordinate the trip so she could shop there for the holidays! We do not have Ross's up north so that can still be fun. We are naughty and call it Ross's Cross-Dress for Less...ggg...

Well, I just got back online yesterday myself. I had a polymorphic worm that sets itself off 6 months after infection. It did not take very long to wipe it out...just the time to get my computer guy over here since he was in the middle of a project. It gave me time to get outside and to read and dream and such. Lots of quiet times and healing.

I will blog more about it but do not have the time this weekend to do a lot since I have company coming today and then next week on tuesday so I am giving everything a good dusting and mopping. Actually, I let myself get dehydrated so I am chugging a half a watermelon this morning and zapping my kidneys since this morning I woke with a severe ache in my right one. It is better already but is a HUGE reminder of the importance of water. I also switched water and was drinking bottles of spring water and it is probably more mineralized than what I was drinking. Not sure why my body reacted so strongly but it did. Otherwise, the cleanse and break have been a breeze. I had company just after breaking so probably did not eat as well as I could have but I am back on my plan again and integrating the changes. It feels good with the exception of my surprise aching this morning.

ggg...I think it is better to MC before a trip. I am going to take a trip myself to visit with my daughter and doing this cleanse will keep me on the straight and narrow. Certainly, I may slurge but not go overboard. Then a short cleanse after to remind me of the choice to keep up my progress, and I will be happier for the focus.

If your daughter keeps spotting, some kelp capsules can really help smooth out her hormones. I will be 52 next month. My cycles are still regular and I am happy to have them for now. My friend, whose home I live at, just stopped her period and she is 66. When she was younger she traveled the world studying with Shamans, healers, witch doctors and curanderos. In Africa, she overheard some men talking in a group reminescing about the Civil War, in first person. She badgered her teacher, a witch doctor, enough that she was taught a youthing ceremony, which was why the men visiting had gotten so old. She has done it for years and she does not look her age and certainly if you need proof...gg...having a period at 66 is proof of its effectiveness. I think she just got tired of cycling though and wished it away or perhaps she would have it for much longer. I have been doing the youthing ceremony for 5 years now. It is only done once a year when the harvest comes in the fall. Anyway, I expect to be cycling 10 years from now...ggg

Did the miso or the seaweed clean you out?? or both?? I laugh to think of you packing nuts and raisens and such home to Japan. I had a friend who was a musician who went regularly to Russia. She would take her friends there toilet paper, laundry soap and condoms. She tells stories of working her way through customs with that stuff...ggg.

Sorry you did not get a good carrier...my traveling experiences these past few years have not been pleasant. Delays and lost baggage and long lines make it feel like a gamble when I go traveling. My last trip I took I did have a miracle where they must have radioed ahead to hold the plane for me since I made my flight through a series of impossible seeming obstacles and even included a ride on one of those courtesy carts just as I had stopped racing and said, God, I give up! The stewardesses even brought me two bottles of water without me asking since I must have looked like I had gone the mile dash...it did feel like it. Still, I try to avoid flying since it is not what it used to be. I used to fly often too. Now I make sure I have some movies and my laptop and it makes any hellish wait much easier. I bought insurance for this upcoming flight...so if there is a delay...off to a motel I will go. It will pay for meals, lodging...all that.

Well, I hope you can find the Chocolate Smooth Move when you get back. I would be willing to ship some to your Hawaii home if you would like in time to meet you in August. Do they have good health food places in Hawaii?? I am sold on that stuff. I do not use the lax tea or SWF except when doing a long cleanse but it will be my lax tea of choice from now on. Let me know if you would like me to send some. I can find it easily here...Kroger's carries it! Thats just a regular grocery, not even a health food one.





Well, my last glass of watermelon. I think a hot bath now and some energy work to calm down everything and I should be good to go on with my dusting flurry...ggg. You may have to wait until next week for another blog entry from me but the main news is it went fine and now I am facing the post-break where the challenges are a bit different. I have a trip and 3 different birthday celebrations coming up as well as a benefit picnic. I plan to be good so have some serious self-talk sessions coming up!!!

I hope you have a great day too!

Many blessings,
Zoe
